Missus ORPO and I took in this game. The Condors are not having a good year but the fan base in Bakersfield is amazing.

You have to be there to understand.....................................................................
The music... especially "Kern River"... kinda hit me where I live, unexpectedly. My father retired to Lake Isabella where he had a place in the mountains. I drove up the Kern River canyon a LOT when goin' to visit him in the last years of his life; Bakersfield was the "big city" to him during his last good days.
ReplyDeleteSo... I sorta know the area.
We like our occasional trip over the mountain to Bakersfield. The Missus also has a specialist there.
ReplyDeleteIt is the Redneck Capital of California. There are loads of Texas Longhorn Decals and OU Decals on pick ups all over the place...............blending in with Oakland Raider and San Francisco 49er stuff.................
